NY-26: Democrats Finally Succeeded Using The Tea Party Brand

Jane Corwin, a good Republican candidate for the NY-26 district, might lose today because a former Democrat claimed the Tea Party mantle syphoning votes away. So. A solid Republican district gets lost to a Democrat due to shenanigans. It’s nowhere near done yet, so if you’re in that district in New York, please, go vote!

Democrats have tried to co-opt the Tea Party name in Nevada and Michigan. Both times, they’ve been stopped either by public shaming, legal means, or both.

This time, a dude with a lot of money, Jack Davis, has succeeded where others have failed. Will he win the race in NY-26? No. But that’s not the point. The point is to get a Democrat a win by any means necessary. That might happen in NY-26.
New York is a mess. People are fleeing the state. Taxes are excruciating. Regulations stifle innovation.

Buffalo is failin and the last thing the area needs is a Democrat, but it may well get it. Hopefully, Cowrin will be able to pull this out. New York state needs more, not less, conservative ideas.
